Camp-Ins
Imagine a campground filled with a giant movie screen, high-tech exhibits, extraordinary science learning opportunities, a live theatre performance, great food, and maybe even the chance to sleep next to a dinosaur. Sound thrilling?
The Science Museum of Minnesota's Camp-In Program provides a fun and welcoming environment that encourages science through exploration. Camp-In participants become immersed in the excitement and wonder of science, while investigating the museum's exhibit halls, watching a live science demonstration, and viewing the museum's current Omnitheater film.

Added to this, is the magic of spending the night in the Science Museum's extraordinary exhibit halls!
